The Express today ran a story about British Comedy Award winner Katy Brand (Katy Brand’s Big Ass Show), who shared her six favorite books. Topping the list:  Rabbit Is Rich, by John Updike.

“My favorite of the Rabbit books because it’s the most fun,” she says. “For some reason I find stories about ordinary American life romantic. In this he has taken over a car dealership and is making good money. I like the sense of living alongside a character through a series of books and it’s perfectly written.”

Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint also made her list, as did Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, Jill Cooper’s Polo, Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace, and Sue Townsend’s The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4.
